Fade Out Text Effect with jQuery

Text Fade Out is an idea of CSS-Tricks that uses jQuery to create a text-blurs, cutting at a certain height and adding a button to expand.
Obviously, you must have added the jQuery library before </ head> :

<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'/>

And then the script with the effect is very short :

<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![ CDATA [
$ (Function () {
var $ a, $ ps, $ up, totalHeight;
$ (" . textfadeout-demo. textfadeout-button . ") click (function () {
totalHeight = 0
$ A = $ (this);
$ P = $ el.parent ();
$ Up = $ p.parent ();
$ Ps = $ up.find ("p: not (' . textfadeout-more ')");
$ Ps.each (function () {totalHeight + = $ (this). OuterHeight ();});
$ Up.css ({"height": $ up.height (), "max-height": 9999})
. Animate ({"height": totalHeight});
$ P.fadeOut ();
return false;
});
});
//]]>


</ Script>

Finally, the CSS that refers to the defined classes that can have different styles and with very few additions, should work on any browser, including Internet Explorer:

<style>

. Textfadeout-demo {/ * is the rectangular container * /

background-color: # 505961;

color: # EEE;

max-height: 150px; / * this sets the height * /

overflow: hidden; / * and say that "court" there, hiding the restenosis * /

padding: 20px;

position: relative;

width: 300px;

}

. Textfadeout-demo. Textfadeout-more {/ * the bottom gone * /

background-image:-moz-linear-gradient (top, transparent, # 101921)

background-image:-webkit-gradient (linear, left top, bottom left, color-stop (0, transparent), color-stop (1, # 101921));

filter: progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient (startColorStr = '# 00101921', EndColorStr = '# FF101921')

bottom: 0;

left: 0;

padding: 30px 0;

position: absolute;

text-align: center;

width: 100%;

}

. Textfadeout-button {/ * the button to expand * /

border-top: 1px solid # 96D1F8;

background: # 65A9D7;

background:-moz-linear-gradient (top, # 3E779D, # 65A9D7)

background:-webkit-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom, from (# 3E779D) to (# 65A9D7));

filter: progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient (startColorStr = '# FF3E779D'; EndColorStr = '# FF65A9D7');

padding: 5px 10px;

text-decoration: none;

-Moz-border-radius: 8px;

-Webkit-border-radius: 8px;

border-radius: 8px;

-Moz-box-shadow: rgba (0,0,0,1) 0 1px 0;

-Webkit-box-shadow: rgba (0,0,0,1) 0 1px 0;

box-shadow: rgba (0,0,0,1) 0 1px 0, rgba (0,0,0,90) 0 0 10px, rgba (0,0,0,90) 0 0 20px, rgba (0, 0,0,90) 0 0 30px;

text-shadow: rgba (0,0,0, 4) 0 1px 0;

}

. Textfadeout-button: hover {

border-top-color: # 28597A;

background: # 28597A;

color: # CCC;

}

. Textfadeout-button: active {

border-top-color: # 1B435E;

background: # 1B435E;

}

</ Style>

Already, now we use the three classes defined to create the HTML:


<Div class = " textfadeout-demo ">
<p> ....... the text to display ....... </ P>
<P class = " textfadeout-more "> <a href =" # "class =" textfadeout-button "> read more </ a> </ p>
</ Div>
